Week #8, Thing #18


Fun with ZOHO Writer,Week#8, Thing #18



i am experimenting with ZOHO, specifically the ZOHO Writer feature of this application.  There are several different features one can switch to including a speadsheet, presentation (think..PowerPoint), Website, Wiki, Planner, Chat creators and MORE.  Being a Web 2.0 app, of course a big advantage of using ZOHO is its collaborative power.  If only I'd known how "easy" it is to edit documents using this kind of application, I would have convinced a colleague ,for whom I and another colleague were editing a complicated document ,to use ZOHO or Google Docs rather than emailing back and forth, trying to keep track of who made what changes and when those changes were made!  Sure looks like a full featured word processor, A LOT like Microsoft's Wordwink  Another advantage of using this kind of authoring tool is that one can always find the document to continue editing since it is located on the web and not somewhere on a flash drive or on your home computer.
